You should never, EVER watch the extended version of any movie as your first viewing experience. They spoil too many things for you. Always watch the theatrical version first, then you can watch the extended :)
@@OnceUponaReaction the part where you said it looked so fake wasn't in the movie. Never seen that before. It's a deleted scene that was obviously added back in the directors cut. That is probably why it doesn't look good. Maybe it wasn't finished. Or that was why it was cut. It's really unnecessary. In the movie the first time you see Newt is when they shoot at her. She had parents and they were killed by Aliens. We understood that already.
so now u need watch alien 3 :) evant horizon, pandorum if u like sc fi horror :)
James Cameron knew his movie wouldn't be scary because he knew the scare factor was already taken in the first movie, that's why he went for the action adventure type alien movie. Cameron himself even stated that.
Strategically a smart move, if you ask me.
If he went "scary" again, he would be COMPETING with himself! (a bit of a lose-lose situation)
But by going the "Action" route, he is ADDING to his creation! (sure, there may/ will still be comparisons, but each can still 'stand' on it's own merits. Much more of a win-win scenario.)
@@sharkdentures3247 Ridley Scott directed Alien, not Cameron.
@@Hal2718 First film, second is Cameron.
Interesting fact, the picture of Ripley's elderly daughter was in fact Sigorney Weavers mother
Oh, I didn't know. Thank you! I like these kinds of facts. 🙂👍
Yep British actress Elizabeth englis
@@tubekulose And for the game Alien Isolation that feature Ripley's daughter Amanda as main protagonist they used photos of Sigourney's mother as a young woman to make the 3D model of the character.
@@Merecir Ah, thank yo very much! 🙂🙂
I assumed it was Sigorney herself in elderly make-up
Fun fact: Sigorney Weaver refused to see the puppet of the alien queen until they shot the scene where Ripley finds it in order to give a genuine reaction to it. And she did so while sporting a back injury
And most of the time, when she was carrying Nute, it was actually a life sized puppet, or dummy or something.
Absolutely nothing wrong with liking the first one better, it was a real masterpiece.
especially for somebody seeing the directors cut of alien as a first reaction to the series and moving on to the long cut of aliens. key thing is that one is a horror with drama, and its sequel is an action movie with horror elements. and none of my friends in highschool liked the david fincher one until fightclub was cool
She should have seen the cinematic version for the first view - Faster paste and more thrilling.
we should all agree alien and aliens are both masterpeices
@@venomoverlord7016 I think that most will agree on that :)
Completely agree. I'm more of an Aliens fan myself, but I can totally understand why someone you prefer the first one.
The actor who played Vazquez thought the movie was about illegal aliens, so auditioned as a latina. This is why Hudson had the line : She heard aliens and thought they said illegal aliens and signed up.
That's hilarious
"Fuck you, man"
"Anytime, anywhere"😄
Lots of people like the first film more, there's nothing wrong with that.....they're both classics, i consider them equal.
I saw most of people prefer this over the first. Because this One is action blockbuster film. The first never meant to be action blockbuster but it is the best horror movie of all time. Basically every modern horror movie use alien scene while every modern action movie use Aliens scene.
It´s the same thing that happened with Terminator, the first and second are differente genres, moving from thirller (lower budget) to action (massive budget increase). But in both the Alien and Terminator franchise, 1 and 2 are great with their own strenghts.
You are such a liar. That is not true. Most people like the second one it was amazing a ton more action and more aliens. What is wrong with you people.
In my opinion this is the best sci-fi action movie ever made.
Unless you consider Mad Max Fury Road sci-fi
@@jeffgilbert9917 It was an action movie, not sci-fi.
@@jeffgilbert9917 Tom hardy was not a patch on Gibson.
You are absolutely spot on Flash
I saw this movie at the cinema when it first came out
Repeated views haven’t diminished its impact.
I’ve recommended this movie to younger friends of mine (I tell them to watch Alien first)
This sequel absolutely blows them away every time.
Don’t bother looking for a better sci-fi/action movie, none has been made.
I have this and terminator 2 as equal top
"Get away from her, you BITCH!"
Still gets a "Hell, yeah" kinda reaction from everyone who sees it even 35 years later.
Its cool if you like the first one more than this one. It was kind of a tone change from the last one since the first was more of a horror film and this one was more of a horro/action film.
And no, we dont hate you. Movies are subjective, and we know that.
Everybody's got a different perspective.
Characterization and motive are subjective too. From the point of view of the alien queen a dangerous alien murdered all her children in cold blood and she wants revenge. She doesn't see what her and her children do as wrong, but necessary to their survival
When the kid said “They’re dead alright. Can I go now” people in the theater started laughing.
Why there isn't much funny about it.
I love them both but watch Aliens more often because it’s so exciting and quotable
"They don't have any idea what they're facing...". Yah. Basically they're about to go into an anthill - full of giant effing dangerous killerants... :D
To be honest, if a squad of Marines was sent to take care of a pack of wolves, you could forgive the Marines for being arrogant.
These things ain't ants, stupido. Lol
Two different movies two different directors the first is so good I agree! I love them both for different reasons thanks for your reaction always so much fun watching you react!
If you watched this expecting a horror movie like the first, you were bound to be disappointed. This wasn't a horror movie, it was a straight up action movie with scary elements.
I'm not saying you're wrong in your opinion of preferring the first one, just that one's expectations can entirely change the experience.
I'm a fan of action and when I saw this I was a little disappointed, except for Ripley, Bishop and Dwayne, the rest of the characters did not matter to me, and therefore I did not feel much emotion :/
if Arnie was in this his signature line would be "Get to da drop ship!!!!"
I'd love to see thr Terminator facing the Aliens
You watched the directors cut. The scene that were add in this was the family's on the planet, Newt's family and her going out to look for the alien ship, her finding out about her daughter, the cannons test firing and firing to hold back the aliens. There's one or two others I forgot. I think you would of like it better is you saw the original theather cut.
I think this version is better. This version is the ride Cameron intended for everyone to take.
"I watched *ALIENS* (1986) and ... " and we love you for it :)
As always awesome work please more flims and lucifer :D
So glad you reated to this movie! It's one of my favorite movies ever! And you are so freakin' cute!! Love your energy and reactions. Keep smiling🤘🙂
Oh, you prefer the first one and appreciate seeing the alien, huh? Sounds like you need to play "Alien: Isolation" :P...
“She’s not safe, because this is a sequel!”
That applies to 3. It undoes this movie’s happy ending. So if you don’t want that, you probably don’t want to watch 3. Go ahead if you want to though.
I loath the third with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.
I made the mistake of watching 3. I was like "Okay this movie sucks. The ending is depressing, and I want my 2 hours back." Pretty much every fans response to that film! lol
That movie has serious studios meddling. Don't hate David Fincher for That because all other movie he did after alien 3 is great because no studios medling
Should have skipped 3, and gone straight to 4. In 4 they could have done a preamble to fill the gaps. Glad Ridder is persuasive and capable, great end to the franchise.
That was no happy ending...
You know what's really hilarious about the loader? The prop was so convincing, that after the film was made, the crew was apparently CONSTANTLY getting calls from construction companies and other groups asking if they would sell them the blueprints for one.
I'm surprised nobody has ever built one
@@SamuelBlack84 it's actually a muscle man wearing a plastic shell.
LOL... your best line, "explosions make allergies"
"Oh no mames!" 🤣💀
Hey, Vanessa! This is one of the best sequels ever made!
You did the right thing in seeing the superior SPECIAL EDITION version.
The future Ripley inhabits is implied to be a dystopic corporatocracy. The most pervasive and powerful corporate entity is the Weyland-Yutani Company, a 22nd-century version of the British East India Company of the 17th- to 19th-centuries. It is a multinational conglomerate involved in robotics, interstellar transport and terraforming with a stake in every colony world. The Company is the TRUE VILLAIN of the Alien universe. Ash and Burke were following a secret corporate mandate to obtain a xenomorph specimen in order to profit from research and weaponization. In the "AvP" films, you actually meet the company founders before their merger, Mr. Weyland and Ms. Yutani.
Some trivia:
The picture of Ripley's elderly daughter in the Special Edition is actually Sigourney Weaver's real-life mother!
The late Al Matthews, who played Sgt. Apone, was a true-blue Marine who was the first black man to be promoted to Sergeant in the Corps during his service in Vietnam!
The knife-trick scene was originally supposed to be performed by Lance Henriksen alone but he convinced director James Cameron to surprise Bill Paxton by involving him as they shot the scene! Paxton's wide-eyed terror is completely real!
Fan favorite Vasquez is played by non-Hispanic Jenette Goldstein! I like that her death enables Gorman to reclaim his honor.
Ms. Goldstein now is the proprietress of a Los Angeles-based boutique that specializes in bespoke large-size bras! The motto of her company is, "At Jenette's, the alphabet begins with 'D'."!
Bishop's programming to not harm humans or allow them to come to harm through inaction is ripped straight from Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics!
The late Bill Paxton, who has the distinction of being killed on screen by an Alien, a Terminator and a Predator, will NEVER be forgotten for his reading of the line, "Why don't you put HER in charge?", referring to little Newt in her oversized helmet. Lol.
"ALIEN 3" is a DIVISIVE film but it's an EXCELLENT entry in the series. It's directed by David Fincher and features Charles Dance and Charles Dutton. It's brutal, fast-paced, has some extraordinary scares and concludes the story elegantly. Please DON'T SKIP IT! Make sure you see the ASSEMBLY CUT (Special Edition with longer runtime). "Alien Resurrection" is the optional one because it's a hot mess except for one cool aquatic sequence. The ambitious prequels, "Prometheus" and "Covenant", mark director Ridley Scott's return to the series but they are mostly good JUST for Michael Fassbender's performances. Scott demystifies the creature and unsatisfyingly attempts to address who the elephant-headed pilot of the derelict spacecraft was.
If you're going to see the "AvP" films, then you need to acquaint yourself with the Predator. The first is an action classic with Schwarzenegger. Danny Glover stars in "Predator 2" in which a link between franchises appears! Dark Horse comics ran with the crossover concept inspiring Hollywood to make two crossover films with moderately successful to excellent results. They're fun and exciting guilty pleasures with the second one, "AvP: REQUIEM", being particularly lean and mean. There is also a "PREDATORS" film by Robert Rodriguez that is definitely worth a look. The "Predator" (2018) reboot, however, should be avoided at all costs; it's a franchise-killer! The Alien films have a RICHER SUBTEXT while the Predator films are more ACTION FARE but they're both fun sci-fi thrillers. Below is a VIEWING ORDER and an INTERNAL CHRONOLOGY:

She would probably have liked the theatrical release more due to it being more suspenceful and tightly told... Best order to watch is, in my opinion; Alien, Aliens, Predator, Predator2 and then the first AvP. Predators is also okay, but can't recommend the rest unless being really bored :-)
AvP isn't a great movie, but it is still good "popcorn-fun"
I agree for the most part. The viewing order is great. IMHO the best ones are Alien, Aliens, Predator (1987), Predator 2 - and additionally AvP for the cross-over. I'm not the biggest fan of Alien 3, but to get the big picture it's good to watch them all (except Predator 2018, of course). I really hope Disney does NOT follow up on its threat and does NOT continue the alien franchise.
Game over man, game over!!!!
I never get tired of this movies specially 1 and this one.
I agree with your shirt.
Standard formula for a good sequel: Add more monsters and a cute kid. 8-)
Aliens is a rare example of how a sequel can be better than the original
"shes just like you... maybe you should adopt her", dam girl you called it from the very beginning.
It's alright if you disagree. I guess I'm a bigger fan of James Cameron movies than I am of Ridley Scott's films. My favorite movie of all time is a James Cameron movie Terminator 2 Judgement Day & my second favorite movie of all time is a Ridley Scott movie Blade Runner.
I like the first Terminator movie better.
This was an action movie, where the first one was a horror movie. So yes if you like horror more than action you will like the first one more.
Fun trivia fact: at the very beginning of Aliens, director Cameron used the same kind of long-angled filming style as director Scott to pay tribute to the original, but for the rest the movie he shot it in his own filming style.
I don't think I laughed this much for any reaction video I've ever seen. Subscribed.
9:08 trivia: that's actually a muscle man in a plastic shell. The operators were leaning back on him.
And, as a joke, one of the actors stuffed something, like a sock or whatever in the area between the muscle guy's hips and where Signorine's rump would be...and for a time, Sig thought 'this fellow must REALLY me into me or something".
Burke really sold Ripley down the river early on by NOT telling her there was a colony already on LV-426. That should've been a red flag right there, as he made her look a complete idiot in front of those executives. I think that was on purpose, as any chance she had from then on of salvaging her career was through him by going on the mission.
I’ve seen 7 reaction vids for this movie just today and yours is by FAR the best and perhaps the most genuine.
You earned a follower with this one 👍🏽
6:13 - "Throw me to the wolves and I'll return leading the pack". Pretty much Ripley's character arc for this movie
There is a phrase in the movie that says "we are in the pipe, five by five". Entering the atmopshere is like entering a virtual pipe. If you exit the pipe you will not end near the landing zone. Five by five means loud and clear.
¡Wow!! Another stellar Reaction video!
This is the second one of your Reaction podcasts that I've had the pleasure to watch and it was just as enjoyable - if not more so - than the first (the "Alien" Reaction).
It is amazing to see how engaged you are in the movie, with the dynamic of your emotions and intellect.
Your editing deserves mention too, in the pausing of the film when sharing a comment. In similar Reaction podcasts, while the film is still on Play, the person / persons reacting will comment, and consequently miss certain details in the movie.
Also, switching your "cameos" from side to side reduces eye strain.
As far as "Alien" being the more artful film, we are agreed!
"Aliens" was more of a, "in your face," kind of "rollercoaster ride" film, whereas "Alien" was more subtle and elegantly evocative. The soundscape in "Alien" was more effective for me too.
Well ... would you mind excusing me for posting an overly long comment?
In closing, Blessings to your parents who raised such a beautiful child.
I loved your reaction. You obviously were into to this movie. I saw it in the theatre. Everyone was screaming and clapping
Cameron was stupid clever when he cast the movie's marines.
He cast stuntmen who were ex-military so he had people who could act, do stunts, and also do military procedures at the same time.
He also kept the movie's costs down by having only 6 alien suits.
The whole movie was done with just 6 men in suits yet he makes it seem like there's hundreds of aliens.
I could listen to you say "You Fucking Beeassterd" all day!!! Awesome reaction, thanks
The effect of the nuclear explosion at 31:35 was simply a lightbulb under cottonballs.
I love when i find out that a practical effect is something so silly and simple but looks so amazing on camera. CGI is great and all, but there are just some things it cant replace when it comes to practical, especially when it comes to people or humanoid beings. Because we are so familiar with the human body and face, CGI seems to always create that uncanny valley effect and just totally misses the mark.
A deleted scene had Ripley finding Burke in a state like colonists, and he said, "my god, I can feel it moving!" and Ripley gave him a grenade to kill himself with it.
You're absolutely adorable.
And here we are at the sequel, 1986. Saw this in the theatres. It was mighty lovely.
I like the first movie more for some reasons and this movie more for others. I really do like how James Cameron took the reigns from Ridley Scott and made it his own while trying to stay true to the first one. Great reaction!
The film is a super strong endorsement of motherhood and how strong mothers can be. There was an incident in my youth I can't even remember completely from the start but apparently we were at the zoo and an American Bison had got out and was ramming anything close and my Dad and older brother were downstairs in the reptile exhibit at the time. But I do remember my Mom pushing me by my chest and saying "Get behind me." And she said if he (the bull who escaped) runs at us you're going to run that way (my left) and quit clinging. Luckily the park tranquilized him but it will be forever frozen in my memory.
watch the 2004 movie "alien vs predator" if you want, which is a good movie after all, but I don't recommend yout to watch alien 3, the movie that killed the saga and destroyed everything good was done with first two movies.
1:03, it won Best Visual Effects! And the effects (Alien) were done by Stan Winston and the Visuals were done by Robert and Dennis Skotak of LA Effects Group, Inc. now renamed 4-Ward Productions.
You are so enthusiastic.
If you like newt, bishop and ripley and hicks.. they all lived happily ever after.. they repaired bishop, hicks and ripley got married adopted newt.. thats it.. no other alien films exist..
Agreed. There are no further films in the franchise.
haha - In my head, I was actually picturing a nice holiday photo of the new family unit - seated in front of a beautiful Christmas tree we see Ripley, Hicks, Newt...and the upper torso of Bishop...
Amen!
Dam, i have got to stop falling in love with these TH-cam Goddess's!! FML! Great Reaction as always! much love from New Zealand!
The first movie is a full horror movie. The second one is the action-horror movie. They are both great on their own and they complement each other. Just don't watch any other movies in this franchise, as they are nothing even close to a fair sequels. Feels more like cash grabbing garbage at times...
i like me some prometheus
Alien 3 isn't that bad. Especially the assembly cut. Doesn't touch the first two though.
15:17 "And the sergeant is, like, so new at this."
The lieutenant. The sergeant is _Apone._ He's in there with his _troops._ Sergeants tend _not_ to be inexperienced. It's part of what makes them sergeants.
But "sergeant" is an _enlisted_ rank, while "lieutenant" is an _officer_ rank. They tend to be more _educated,_ but might or might _not_ have a whole lot of experience.
To understand the difference, here, consider a _medical_ hierarchy. Nurses can have a _whole_ lot of experience, but doctors, however inexperienced, have more authority.
I can never hate you but I love that you are always honest no matter what
I love your reaction. haha so funny. New subscriber now.
I'm glad you watched the director's cut. The movie executives will cut things from a film that should be left alone. Sometimes it's better to give the director free rein to make his vision.
After watching the whole video you said you wanted more scares. There are some classic '80s horror films I give you some titles. Sleepaway Camp, biggest twist ending ever, Happy Birthday to Me, My Bloody Valentine, The Hills have Eyes (it actually from the '70s). There are tons of slasher movies that are pretty entertaining even though they're not the best acted.
LOL oh nobody will hate you for liking the first one better! Oh, and you are SO fun to watch! So pure, so hilarious! Great work!
IIRC this was the only film Carrie Henn (Newt/Rebecca) ever appeared in.
Hightly enjoyed your reaction videos for "Alien" and "Aliens". Actually I also like the first "Alien" better, though the "Aliens" is great. I think you should see the whole Alien Quadrology. There are 4 movies telling the story of Ellen Ripley and the Alien, and if we speak about all them combined the cold-blooded-triller-mood (which you have in the first movie) prevails over the brave-marines-action of the second. I've noticed that people who adore "Aliens" always say "There is only two movies in the franchise worth seeing - "Alien" and "Aliens", and the second one is better", but I like all 4 movies. To me "Aliens" are good as the part of the quadrology, but I absolutely against narrowing this thriller to the simple fight of marines vs animal-like aliens (though in the first movie we were clearly told that this creature is intellegent). I can understand, why people prefers "Aliens" - among all the Alien franchise movies the second one is the most action-filled, has less philosophy and it is not as dark and creepy as other parts. But you see, you definitely should see "Alien 3" and "Alien Ressurection" (for this one theatrical version is better than director's), because 4 movies combined have the multiplying effect, and totally hit you. All the movies are extremely different, but they perfectly fit together as parts of Alien Saga: first you have dark, cold and shocking "Alien" by Ridley Scott, than action packed "Aliens" by James Cameron, than we once again have a dark thriller "Alien 3" by David Fincher (probably the darkest part, originally planned as the last one), and than rather action packed but acid crazy and unusual "Alien Ressurection" by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (and written by Joss Whedon).
Also main Quadrology has sidestories:
- the crossover with Predator Franchise - "Alien vs Predator" (pure fun, but actually is quite good) and "Aliens vs Predator: Requiem" (which is very bad);
- the new sidestory prequel made once again by Ridley Scott, cause he wanted to return to this universe, but with a new story - it is "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant
" and 99% TBC.
And the actress who played Newt became a schoolteacher...
1:17 "So shiny."
That's frozen condensation. Water droplets are always in the air. As the temperature drops, they condense on surfaces. As it drops even further, they freeze. As cold as it gets in space, under the conditions of prolonged space flight, that's to be expected.
GOOD video, BTW, when you get to Alien 3, make sure to watch the Assembly Cut/Version that lasts about 2 and a half hours long, since a lot of people like that one more than the Theatrical Cut, PLEASE.
Seconding this, but you might end up hating it _anyway._
As kids, me and my cousins always used milk to re-inact Bishops moment. Our moms got pissed but who cares, we got memories now.
I introduced my sister to this by the time she was 4. She's been a fan ever since. 😎🤙
Honestly this is one of those times where two loved installments of a franchise are interchangeable for being the best in the series (or people’s favorites). Like Terminator 1 vs Terminator 2, Rocky 1 vs Rocky 2, A New Hope vs Empire Strikes Back, Star Trek (2009) vs Star Trek Into Darkness, Casino Royale vs Skyfall, etc. If you like Alien better no one’s gonna crucify you for it. I like Aliens better but I personally like both. 🤘😁
"It won't make any difference" - that says it all.
I love when you hum the intro music for the 20th century fox card :D
Here's the rule about Alien and Aliens. If you see many eggs scattered around you or anywhere else, just runaway before any of them hatches and sticks against your face
No hate. This was an action movie. The first one was a thriller. :)
The first one SHOULD be scarier because it was directed as a Horror/Sci-Fi (Ridley Scott) as the sequel is an Action/Sci-Fi (James Cameron). Two different directors with different styles. I like Aliens better but I'm more of an action film fan than horror. It has enough jump scares in it for me. As far as it feeling "too long", you watched the director's cut version with a bunch of added scenes that were not in the original release (i.e. Newt's family, Ripley learning the details of her daughter, the sentry guns, Ripley and Hicks exchanging first names, etc.). It's almost 20 minutes longer than theatrical release.
Huge plot hole @9:20 Ripley says she can drive that loader. She's been asleep for nearly 60 years. That's like someone from the 1960s trying to use a laptop, use a mobile phone or just even drive a modern car. Actually, not even drive it. I doubt they'd be able to even open the door. lol.
Who said the cargo roboter is new? Maybe it's more than 60 years old. In Alien 4 Ripley referred to the cargo ship they were flying being "older than herself" which meant it must have been 200+ years old
9:40, those are awesome weapons, the Smart Guns.
I also like the first move a bit more then the second. The first two are by far the best. The first one has that wonderful "Alfred Hitchcok" build and suspense. One of my favorite movies all around. I suspect there are a good many fans who would agree with you. Great reaction video.
The first Alien was a masterpiece of a horror film. Thrilling, suspenseful, terrifying. Nothing wrong with preferring it!
So much fun watching you watch these movies!
Girl, I'm watching this film, right now! Lol!! It's the Special Edition or I would prefer to call it the Director's Cut.
I love your enthusiasm, energy and comments. It is one of the best reaction videos that I have seen. If I could give you more than one like, I would. (Actually, I think that I'll use about eight other devices to do that).
There is no problem with liking the first one because they are both similar, but very different (with #1 being a sci-fi thriller, horror film and #2 being a sci-fi action film) and both very good in their own way. They work perfectly in tandem and do what is very rare. That is having a great film that is followed by a sequel that's as good, if not better than the original. And Ripley is such a badass in each of them and you see how she evolves between the two films. Girl power!
Do yourself a favor, save yourself some time and stop with those two films in this series. Do not watch the next two. Savor these two and move on. Terminator and Terminator 2 are another rare pair.
The use of lighting and the fact you never get a really good look at the aliens is actually brilliant. It makes them mysterious and menacing, but also covers up the fact that they're essentially puppets. If you were able to get a good look at them you'd probably think they were pretty cheesy.
You're allowed to like the first one better! They're _very_ different films, so different people have different preferences with them. While I think this is one of the best _sequels_ ever made, the first is an absolute classic.
I just have to make this statement... i mostly only watch your channel b/c you watch the classics and make me relive my childhood. Ill subscribe with you to the end my homegirl. And plus who does your hair mi mija!!!
Hehehe and they all lived happily ever after
Nothing wrong with liking the first one better, they’re very different films. The first is more of a horror film and the second is more of an action film. Just depends on which genre you like better.
Love your reactions awesome shirt lol
I consider them equal to each other.
They mostly come at night, mostly.
So I'm still in the middle of the video (can't finish it right now, will probably watch the rest after work) so I'll just post this.
If... IF you continue to watch Alien movies.
Whatever you have to do to get it, watch Alien 3: Assembly Cut only. DO NOT BOTHER with the regular cinema cut cause that one's bad. Assembly Cut restores pretty much all footage that Fincher shot for the movie and was then forced to cut/reshot by the producers.
Because of this movie, I practiced the knife trick of Bishop's until I could repeat it as fast as he did. Practiced with one of those oversized pencils until I had the muscle memory. Only used a real knife when I was trying to show off. Only stabbed myself a few times. Nothing serious. It's strange, but you become so practiced with the muscle memory, you know when you are about to stab yourself in the half second before you do, reducing the speed. That's why it was never a seriously cut.
You watched the Director's Extended Cut instead of the original Theatrical Cut. The original 1986 release of Aliens is shorter by 20 minutes: it cuts completely the scenes with the people in the colony, the sentry-guns, the scenes about Ripley's daughter, and when Ripley and Hicks say their first names. Somehow I prefer the Theatrical Cut because of the pacing but I wish they have kept the subplot about Ripley's daughter because that adds more sense on why Ripley is so attached to Newt.
I really hated them stopping to say names. There is zero time and they can talk all they want if they make it out.
I saw this in the theatre so many years ago. I was blown away, amazing. You’re awesome, no matter which you prefer.
6:44 “it must be terrible…dreaming the same thing over”. Right? 200 years in the future and they don’t have psychiatrists to help her with PTSD???
I prefer the first one, too! (Although this one had more of Ripley being a total bad ass.)
The first one was a horror flic with a sci-fi wrapper and had a different director. The second was an action flic with a sci-fi wrapper. I agree with you.
Definitely check out Terminator and Terminator 2. There are a lot of faces in this that pop up in Terminator (Hicks, Hudson and Bishop all appear), and they have the same director as this one (James Cameron).
Vasquez too. In T2, the foster mom is her.
Fun fact. When the countdown first says '15 minutes to reach minimum safe distance" the movie switches to real time. It's exactly 15 minutes until the explosion happens.
She is good actress and she is awesome
We don’t hate you. Alien is an unmatched classic that stands the test of time. Btw, Alien is my favorite too.
It is a bit long. You watched the extended version
